Housing update: We sign a contract tomorrow (Saturday) to place our Silsbee house on the market at an asking price of $134,900. The realtor gave us a "net sheet" today after visiting our house and estimated that we would have a clear profit of about $80,000. By the way, our realtor is Stephen Black!! Yep, a distant relative no doubt. Monday, we are touring a second house in Lufkin on the same block as the first. The second house can be seen online at Century 21 in zip code 75901. Asking price is $99,900. This house, built in 1912, is a white wood frame TWO STORY with 3,000 square feet, FOUR bedrooms, two baths, formal living & dining, an office, a game room, a fireplace, a back porch, and a FRONT PORCH from which Linda and I can sit and wave at the passing traffic. (I already have plans for the train in the play room!!) This house has already been renovated inside. We have been told by a neighbor that the staircase is fantastic! Things are moving FAST, faster than we had ever imagined. And so far, our retirement has turned out to be better financially than we had estimated. I am amazed at how these past few weeks have produced exactly what we have wanted for years. God wanted me to retire and I suspect He wants us to move to Lufkin.
